Auburn University and Florida State University will collaborate to develop a series of workshops to engage members of the Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) Alliances and Black, Latina and Native American women graduate students to develop a community of support in computing disciplines. Native American, Latina, and Black women are particularly underrepresented in computing with representation at all degree levels significantly less than the representation of these groups in the U.S. population. While prior work has has championed new approaches to student recruitment and preparation, less research has specifically focused on women of color and their lived experiences in the field of computing. An intersectional focus is important because the needs of women of color cannot be adequately addressed when interventions are designed and analyzed along a single axis of race or gender. Working in collaboration with the BPC Alliances, this project will serve as a step towards establishing a more inclusive and actionable research agenda focused on women of color, specifically Native American, Latina, and Black women in the field of computing. The project activities will center the lived experiences of women of color in computing and re-imagine efforts within and across the BPC-A’s while establishing an actionable research agenda around women of color. BPC Alliances are uniquely positioned to integrate appropriate frameworks, approaches, and methodologies to transform computing education for women of color at scale, this project will implement a series of workshops to engage members of the BPC Alliances and Black, Latina and Native American women graduate students to develop a community of support in the field of computing. The resulting intersectional research agenda will be a resource to the larger computing community, centering the lived experiences of Black, Latina, and Native women within each of the BPC Alliances and women graduate students enrolled in U.S. computing degree programs. Contributing to the diversity of ideas and perspectives, the project activities will (1) generate deep knowledge of the experiences of women of color; (2) explore the similarities and differences across Native American, Latina, and Black women populations in computing; (3) provide an analysis of the conditions under which different groups of women of color thrive; and (4) examine the trajectories of Native American, Latina, and Black women populations in computing.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

奥本大学和佛罗里达州立大学将合作举办一系列讲习班，让扩大参与计算（BPC）联盟的成员以及黑人、拉丁裔和美洲土著妇女研究生参与，以建立一个支持计算学科的社区。美洲原住民、拉丁裔和黑人女性在计算方面的代表性尤其不足，在所有学位水平上的代表性都明显低于这些群体在美国人口中的代表性。虽然先前的工作已经倡导了新的方法来招收学生和准备，但较少的研究专门关注有色人种女性及其在计算领域的生活经历。一个交叉的重点是很重要的，因为当干预措施的设计和分析沿着沿着单一的种族或性别轴时，有色人种妇女的需求不能得到充分解决。与BPC联盟合作，该项目将成为建立一个更具包容性和可操作性的研究议程的一步，重点关注有色人种妇女，特别是计算领域的美洲原住民，拉丁裔和黑人妇女。该项目活动将集中在有色人种妇女在计算方面的生活经验，并重新设想BPC-A内部和整个BPC-A的努力，同时围绕有色人种妇女建立一个可行的研究议程。BPC联盟具有独特的定位，可以整合适当的框架，方法和方法，以大规模改变有色人种妇女的计算教育，该项目将实施一系列研讨会，让BPC联盟成员和黑人，拉丁裔和美洲土著妇女研究生参与，以建立一个支持计算领域的社区。由此产生的交叉研究议程将成为更大的计算社区的资源，以每个BPC联盟中的黑人、拉丁裔和原住民女性以及参加美国计算学位课程的女研究生的生活经历为中心。有助于思想和观点的多样性，项目活动将（1）产生对有色人种妇女的经验的深入了解;（2）探索美洲原住民，拉丁裔和黑人妇女人口在计算方面的相似性和差异;（3）提供对不同有色人种妇女群体蓬勃发展的条件的分析;以及（4）研究美洲原住民、拉丁裔和黑人妇女在计算机领域的发展轨迹。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
